But, beeing able to use just the Settings App (instead of also needing the Control Panel App/Program) is more suitable for the used users with Tablet App Settings from the UI perspective.
It would make sense for Microsoft to migrate all the settings in Control Panel over to Settings, so that there is only one place to look for all the settings. However, I fear that Microsoft is gradually hiding many settings from users, so some of the settings currently available in Control Panel will just disappear, or be hidden several levels down in a menu so that casual users will just leave them alone.
Indeed, I've been annoyed for years that there seems to be no way to give windows grabbable-size borders without enabling other unwatned settings like high-contrast mode.
@@shadowopsairman1583 Maybe not Windows 3.1, but back to the traditional Control Panel. It makes no sense for Windows users to have to re-learn how to use Windows every few years.
Thing is, Microsoft made this exact same confirmation back in 2018 saying the Control Panel would be deprecated in a future Windows 10 Feature Update and the year Windows 11 was announced I was 100% certain that Windows 11 would be where they actually cut off control panel, but nope. So I wouldn't worry about this for now, they've been claiming they're going to do this for 6 years.
Once they remove control panel they should monitor how many put it back using a third party tool. am sure some of the ones that make start menu customization software will also introduce legacy control panel option. I think they should have left control panel alone and just extended the dark them to it.
Hi Brent. What??? come on Mircosoft that is super unfair. I also use the control panel a lot too As the old saying goes "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" I understand the OS gets upgraded but come on! Thanks for letting us know. Thank you and Take care
Hmm I don't know about deprecated as much as just making the bloody setting more convoluted and harder to use than it is already. It is also probably yet another way of collecting data which Microsoft seem hell-bent on keeping to inform them of what we the users are doing and frankly that borders on an invasion of privacy. I for one would love to know of any tweaks or some method of keeping the control panel as it is perhaps using a gpedit process or regedit tweak. Having said that I guess they will just plug any such "loophole" using their Windows update process. I personally would like to see a better form of start menu as the current one is for me at least frustratingly slow to use.
I don't mind as long as I can get all the settings and find it easily, it being all in a logical way. Control panel had it's flaws, but some settings were easy to find. I don't fiddle with settings often anyway. But I hope they don't make it worse.
They just chopping and changing things and making it seems like they doing something positive when all they is just make everything worse. There's no ingenuity or creativity involved in any of this. It's just corruption.
Same, for me Control Panel is basically an center of settings up your windows, the core, and settings app basically just and extra bloat with new windows or layer screen that showing limited things that you can customize, even for small example like power plan etc, I find it funny why did Microsoft seperate or make extra power plan on different places, settings and control panel... And they also add a bunch of "learn more" On each settings that will opens a web and tbh I believe 90% of user in this earth doesn't even care about those learn more link. You see now what is the meaning of bloat, bloat means adding extra layer that may just perform the same, if there's any whom said windows 11 Is not bloates or may the only they know about bloatware is just for those Spotify or LinkedIn app store shortcut then we cant talk since I know user like you or user like this is complete doesn't have any experience on windows itself, or should I called it as sheep that just follow everything what those wolf says.
I'll only hope that they'll migrate all the options of the control panel because the settings app is very weak on the tweaking stuff. I don't mind the "more modern and streamlined experience" as long as the options are all there. "The Power Users" majority use the control panel for tweaks and try to avoid the "shallow" Settings App. Only hope that they don't "cut the legs" of the power users in favor of the average user. Let's wait and see.
One thing i hate in the settings app is the slow loading of installed apps list yes i had a hdd before which i thought to be the cause but no i upgraded to an ssd with no difference whatsoever.
"more modern and streamlined experience" i.e. not all in the one place, way more blank space and multiple pages to be negotiated while you search for the thing you used to be able to go straight to because everything was on the one page 😂 streamlined is definitely not the right word
so this include also other configuration tools like disk management , device manager. event viewer....?? because disk management functionalities is now on settings app and for resources monitor i think it will be in task manager
I think it is time for MS to stop playing around and do what they did with the snipping tool, provide an entirely new app called Control Panel that combines the best of both the Control Panel and Settings. From a compatibility standpoint this is much more practical than introducing an entirely new app.
I will just stay at a previous version of Windows if they dare touch my control panel. The only things that qualify for deprecation would only be parts of the OS that are hardly used....
They like to needlessly change things to justify a new version. It doesn't matter if it's counterproductive and slows workflow, they'll insist it's new and improved.
Yes, YEs, YESSS! NO MORE CONTROL PANEL ( RIP rectify11 because it meant to fix the inconsistencies in windows 11 and ONE of those apps is control panel (Maybe rectify11 will bring it back))
Ok, I'll talk halfway. Windows has many inconsistencies and inherits many very old tools, with fragmented implementations. on the other hand. It is a versatile options center with a lot of settings, options that perhaps have not yet been implemented in modern tools.
That's been going on since 2015, nothing new. If all settings make it to the Settings environment I'm fine with it. If not there'll probably be other apps that will allow us to adjust settings or do it through powershell.
I believe that even if they want, they could make a new OS that run just lighter and smaller in usage resources just like Windows 7 in this modern era, bur unfortunately those day when OS means a place or a table for you to craft or to explore, act like an table or place for you and for your work, meaning that those table is completely empty of space for you to freely sets up anything you want while remain light clean no bloat no junks only a full of basic functions and may some useful fundamentals features, and doesn't forces you to have this that this that, and it really is My analogy is : Windows 7 is good useful and organized work table and remain clean light, less resources or less requirements Windows 10 is almost like 7 but at this stage, its the time when bunch of advertising and preloaded bloat comes to your working table and filling every corner of your table Windows 11 is the final form of 10 qith serious bloat ads and most of the time it just gonna filling up your work table and leave you with small spaces for you to explore working and many things that u want to do, and it takes alot of resources and it required an new strict requirements.
It's a good move towards unifying configurations and utilities. (In case people get the wrong idea, a word of clarification: the only reason moving stuff to settings makes configuration feel more disjointed is because there are two different settings apps that sometimes don't synergise well. There's really no reason to keep control panel if they do port all the features over, it's just that they're porting them really slowly and it's a painful process.)
One interesting consequence is that I cannot ever go back to Windows. Even if I wanted to. First thing I'd do would be to look for the control panel. Oh well. Linux it's been for 5 years. Linux it will be for the next 55 years. Sayonara Microsoft and may the door hit your backside on the way out.
I hate the settings app it's useless compared to the Control Panel there's nothing in the settings app that even does anything that Control Panel does only just similar settings I am 100 percent sure Microsoft will be going bankrupt very soon the way they are going I guarantee it
One more reason to stick with win 10. And then maybe go fully Linux. I bet soneone will develop some application that will allow us to access those internal settings on win 11.

MS can't stand that the Control Panel works well and is easily used
They can't stand people messing with their broken shit that 's their problem. Communist 11.

All because they want you keep their stupidly useless and expensive software cuz you won't be able to get rid of them.
I use the control panel because items are much easier to find

They're just doing it very very very slowly.
I wouldn't get your hopes up if I were you it's going alright and so is Microsoft
It's because their corporate customers rely on that. At least if you ask me.
Reason 378 to not use Windows 11..
Modern, but not functional
I like & still use the control panel.
Once they remove control panel they should monitor how many put it back using a third party tool. am sure some of the ones that make start menu customization software will also introduce legacy control panel option. I think they should have left control panel alone and just extended the dark them to it.
Fortunately everything that is in control panel is also in the file explorer
Mostly, Control Panel that we're seen in Windows 8, 10, until 11, are haven't Redesigned from Windows 7.
Yes, you're Correct 👍👍
since Vista*
@@Dhruv-qw7jf Technically no, 7 replaced classic view with all control panel items.

@@chronosaurus2764 Bullshit, it looks great
Microsoft will typically make a "new" thing and in essence it means more flashy buttons but less power and control to the user.
this is really sad and I am infuriated at the deprecation of the legacy OG control panel
This is a joke, just more reasons to not use windows.
Mint! Linux is the way!
@@musicalneptunianI never used Linux and never will for at least a decade or more!
I always open it using Ctrl + R (run dialogue), then I type "control". Fast and easy way to open it if it still exists.
One thing i hate in the settings app is the slow loading of installed apps list yes i had a hdd before which i thought to be the cause but no i upgraded to an ssd with no difference whatsoever.
I look at Windows as two programs. Pre Win7 and Post Win7. Post Win7 devs don't know how to program effectively.
"more modern and streamlined experience" i.e. not all in the one place, way more blank space and multiple pages to be negotiated while you search for the thing you used to be able to go straight to because everything was on the one page 😂 streamlined is definitely not the right word
Streamlining: white page with one or two settings and 10 misleading links instantly opening Edge ;)

It only took them 12 years. They've been moving to Settings since Windows 8.
Perhaps later, the Control Panel will be Deprecated by Microsoft after the Release of Windows 12.
👍👍
Been hearing this since Windows 8.
Good to hear the updates carry on.
Keep calm.
Carry on!

@@billyguthrie3176 you might not need to worry about it cause stuff are being migrated to settings
I don't need a too much fashionable UI because Windows is already an everyday-use-workhorse.

Might be time to make a copy instances of control.exe from Windows system folders.. just in case an update decides to delete it.
Will it work if you copy it back after they remove it? But I'm sure there will also be 3rd party ways to get it to work again
lets hope it is still accessible via cmd and batch files like ie
That's been going on since 2015, nothing new. If all settings make it to the Settings environment I'm fine with it. If not there'll probably be other apps that will allow us to adjust settings or do it through powershell.
OMG the new settings app is so trash.
As long as we have all the current functionality I won't worry too much.
One day Microsoft will deprecate even x86 for ARM
Yeah, THEIR Arm chip, just like Apple did. Let the locked-in revenue stream flow!
I believe that even if they want, they could make a new OS that run just lighter and smaller in usage resources just like Windows 7 in this modern era, bur unfortunately those day when OS means a place or a table for you to craft or to explore, act like an table or place for you and for your work, meaning that those table is completely empty of space for you to freely sets up anything you want while remain light clean no bloat no junks only a full of basic functions and may some useful fundamentals features, and doesn't forces you to have this that this that, and it really is
My analogy is :
Windows 7 is good useful and organized work table and remain clean light, less resources or less requirements
Windows 10 is almost like 7 but at this stage, its the time when bunch of advertising and preloaded bloat comes to your working table and filling every corner of your table
